Hello, I too am also looking for information/records about my family. My babcia and dza dza are from the town Jankowice and my aunt believes that it is in presentday belarus.
My grandfather's name was Stefan Makowski, changed to Makow when he cam to ellis island. my grandmothers name is Elizabeth Makowski ( i am not sure her maiden name) and they have 4 children, John, Stan, Donna, Teresa (Janik, Stash, Donka, Theresa). All i know is that before they came to america they escaped to Gorzno, Poland and i have a few other details and i can ask my grandmother. I would greatly appreciate any help.
Ha yea thats just what we called him for grandpa. Anyways any help would be greatly appreciated. My grandmother or uncle also said something about her father's house still there but boarded up
Scanned copies of the Naliboki Church records - which include other local towns like Jankowicze - are available to view on the facebook page "Polish Nowogrodek Family Ties". The records are in latin but are somehwht easy to follow if you knwo abit of italian/latin ( or you could google translate). The names are 'latinised' versions of the polish names, eg Chrisotphoro = Krzystof etc. The records go back to 1763!
My grandmather is Anna Emilianowicz, she was born in Jankowicze (now Belarus). Parents name: Florian Emilianowicz and Adolfina maiden Szpakowska probably. My grandma has a sister Helena. Both lives in Poland. I know thar after Adolfina dead my great grandfather was married second time and they had doughter Katarzyna which is live in Belarus still.
My mum was born in Jankowicze close to Naliboki. If I am not wrong there is our familly even today, my mum goes there every 3 years. I know that is a old topic but maybe it can help.

We are family! Anna Emilianowicz was second wife of my grandgrandfather Dominik Szydłowski. Anna and Dominik had two children: Małgorzata and my grandfather Rafał Szydłowski. They were packed up and moved to Germany for forced labour in April 1943.
Please contact me on rafal.szydlowski@o2.pl
If anyone has information about Szydłowski or Emilianowicz family from Jankowicze feel free to contact me also.
